Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society

The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) is Canada's only nationwide charity dedicated solely to the protection of public lands, oceans, freshwater, and ensuring our parks are managed to protect the nature within them. In the past 50+ years, they've played a lead role in protecting over half a million square kilometres—an area bigger than New Brunswick, Newfoundland, and Labrador put together!
